When the agents begin to drive away, Pretti kicks twice at one of the vehicle’s taillights, breaking it. That seems to prompt the agents to get back out of the vehicle and push him to the ground. During the later confrontation with agents in which Pretti was killed, he had a gun holstered on his hip. One agent grabbed the gun from Pretti’s holster moments before two other agents shot at Pretti. At least two videos showing Pretti’s earlier encounter with federal agents had been online for about two weeks.
